What She Wanted

Chapter 28.

      "What do you mean you are coming home?" May's mother's voice blared through the phone.

      Through tears May started to explain, "I... I... I was eliminated!"

      "Why?! Honey, you're amazing!" Her mom said.

      "I already have a ticket. I'll be home around eight tomorrow morning." May said, still sobbing.

      "Ok, we will see you then. Love you, sweetie!" Her mom said.

      "Love you too, honey!" Her dad called.

      "I love you guys too. See ya tomorrow." May sighed as she hung up the phone.

      She walked down the hallway to her bedroom and started packing her things. She packed her shirts, her shorts, her painting things, colored pencils, drawing books, her phone charger, toothbrush and toothpaste, hair brushes, she packed it all.

      She lugged her bags out to the door and went around to turn everything off. She didn't bother to call for a taxi or anything. She wanted to walk to the airport.

      As she flicked the light switch and the room went dark a single tear rolled down her cheek. Good bye, room one thirty-six. May thought, good bye.

      When she finally reached the airport, she was out of breath. It was a long walk from her hotel to the airport. When she got inside she went straight to the McDonald's next to the gift shop and got a cheeseburger and fries with a large Sprite and barbeque sauce for the fries.

      When she was finished with her meal that cost four dollars, she went through security and found a seat in between a family of seven heading for Pennsylvania and an old woman heading to see her grandkids in Texas.

      "Now boarding flight number one hundred seventy-two!" A woman's voice said over the loud speaker, "Flight number one hundred seventy-two!"

      At her words May got up, gathered her things and walked to her terminal.

      "You are now free to move about the cabin." The captain said. May ignored it and just unbuckled her seatbelt. She had her head phones in and was listening to Katy Perry's Dark Horse.

      As Katy sang her little heart out into May's ears, the plane bounced. May looked up. Most of the people on board were sleeping since it was eleven o'clock at night. She decided it was turbulence and hung her head once more. But then, again the plan bounced.

      As she lifted her head again the plane started to shake. May took out her earphones to hear the roaring coming from outside. She looked out her window and saw that the plane was falling out of the sky. Someone up toward the front of the plane started to scream. It sounded like a little girl, about five. Everyone started waking up and realized what was happening. They all were in the middle of a plane crash.
